    Yearly updates - Stock D30 Swap Over to TeraFlex - TERA30 Axle

    Thanks to Joe & Jenn at TeraFlex for the Great info and One of a kind Paint Scheme from there shop.. Thanks to Jason @ Rebel-OffRoad for the great deal and coordinating it all and getting it to my door in one piece...

    The Conversion - So this is what I currently have and what I will convert too over the next couple of weeks


    Currently - Stock - D30 2008 "X" - Upper and lower "C" Gussets - G2 5.13 Gears and Detriot TrueTrac - Driven with 33's 35's and now 37's with Stock axles, Ball Joints and U-Joints

    TERA30 - Will take the G2 5.13 Gears and Detriot TrueTrac out and install into the Tera30 wityh a new master rebuild kit, will add new Synergy ball Joints and RCV axles to complete the package



    So...My Axle arrived today from TeraFlex, Looks awesome!!! Very noticable difference in the Tube size over the stock D30/44 Tubes.




    The housing itself looks like a 30 Pumpkin on Steriods.. with the extended housing which eliminates the long tude side weakness...






    No Need for Gussets - The size of the new "C" 's are huge




    Once I get the Stock axle pulled I will take some side by side shots for comparision...

    If you subtract KOH, EJS and a broken lathe.. then 3-4 weeks... Well worth the wait... hard to tell from pictures... very much a beast in person .. No doubt the 44 is as well

    Well, I wanted to keep my Detroit Truetrac...
    The TERA30 Housing and Axle tubes surpass the strength of the stock 30/44 tubes and housing's.. I saved over $1,500.00 Dollars using my own internals + adding RCV's and Synergy Ball joints..
    I have never had a problem with my d30.. and don't buy into the have to have because everyone says so..

    So I am going to be the test dummy and test the crap out of it and see if it is a suitable option with a 2-door & 37's, which i believe it is.. time will tell.. Will keep everyone posted

    I'm with ya on that one. I wheel my D30 and it does great. The only thing I am worried about is my ring and pinion in the 30. I have sleeves and gussets on mine and an ARB. I'm happy with my setup too...I just wish I had a larger r/p.
